Ponderosa Fence

"Good Fences Make Good Neighbors"

It has been said that "good fences make good neighbors." However, "good fences" are hard to find. It's true that nothing dresses up a home place, farm or ranch better than an aesthetically pleasing, fully function fence. It completely changes the entire landscape for the better and increases property value. On the other hand, nothing looks worse than a broken down or unpainted fence. A rundown fence makes a home place look abandoned and un-kept and is a safety hazard to livestock. Although most all fences look great at first, the big questions are what will it look like in five or ten years, will it be safe and serviceable and how much time and money will I have to spend to keep it looking like the day it was installed?

Priefert fence offers you the convenience of no-weld, all-steel fencing that is easy to install and easy to maintain. All steel components are powder coated to provide a beautiful and durable finish that does not require re-painting down the road. Our line of fencing products are used around the world and even line the ranch of Country Music Legend George Straight!

Appearance

Priefert’s Ponderosa wood post fence is a revolution in the fence industry. We’ve combined the aesthetic look of the western lifestyle with the quality, durability, and convenience of the Priefert powder coated tubing. A beautiful fence is a great way to beautify any home or property and increase property values. There is no other fence on the market that combines both the durability and functionality of a steel fence with the beauty and esthetic appeal that Ponderosa fence does.

Safe

All Priefert products have to pass a rigorous safety standard. Our products have to be safe for the animal and the operator. Animals can run through board and vinyl fences and work their way through loose barb wire fences potentially getting injured in the process. Ponderosa fence offers the strength of steel for confinement with no sharp edges or barbs to hurt animals or people. It’s truly one of the safest fences you can own.

Durable

Ponderosa fence is not only an attractive solution, it is also a practical solution because it is durable. Combining the strength of steel and wood, Ponderosa fence can handle the pressure of safely containing livestock for many years where other fence solutions tend deteriorate over time. Barb wire stretches, wood boards rot and are more easily broken and vinyl breaks down in sunlight over time. 13 or 16 gauge galvanized steel tubing with an architectural grade of powder coat ensures strength and log life of each rail. Each post is domed to shed water and eliminate sharp edges and is pressure treated to ensure long life. No other fence can withstand the elements, animal pressure or the test of time like Ponderosa.

Powder Coat & Color Availability

Beginning with galvanized metal, Priefert tubing is passed through a phosphate wash, cleaning the metal of any impurities that may cause the finish to fail. A conversion coating is then applied for added adhesion. Finally, the tubing is powder coated using a high quality architectural grade powder with UV inhibitors to help resist fading. The final step in manufacturing is for the powder to be baked on at high temperature which helps achieve a high gloss or matte finish. Priefert was the first in our industry to introduced powder coating and is the best at it. This means your fence will hold its color and be virtually maintenance free for many years.

Post

All wood posts are pressure treated after all the holes are drilled to ensure the longevity of the wood. Every wood post comes with a domed top for safety and water shed.

The holes drilled for tubing are cone shaped for flexibility over terrain and in and around curves. This innovative, patented design fits the outer diameter of the tube, in the center of the hole, while allowing the rail freedom of movement towards the outer dimensions of the drilled post.

Swedge

Priefert’s rail-in-rail “swedge” design allows you to construct a fence with the appearance of a single rail running from end to end without any welding. This design creates a beautiful fence that flows with the contour of your land and around corners. The swedge design also allows your fence to expand and contract without buckling in extreme temperatures.

Receiver

Using the same concept as the “swedge” tubing connection, the Ponderosa post connectors allow for expansion and contraction as well as versatility. The end of the tubing is cut to exact length, the connector slides into the tubing and connects to the post with two lag bolts.
